Thank you for the review. The starting rate for BHT's, formerly known as TSS's, is $15 - $18 per hour, and is based on experience and educational background. We are competitive within the industry and our rates are heavily dependent upon reimbursement rates set by insurance providers. We have a comprehensive benefits package, including a 401K program w/ matching and 3 weeks of PTO for full-time BHT's. We appreciate the feedback. Thank you
